and all-star shortstop Harvey
Kucnn of the Detroit Tigers were
among the unsigned going Into the

Joe Rowan
Meets Holman
MIAMI, Fla. (UP) A 20-pound
weight advantage and more ex
perience made John Holman of
Chicago a 2 to 1 favorite today
for tonight's nationally televised
10-round bout with Irish Joe
Rowan of Philadelphia in Bay
front Park Auditorium.
The bis. tough-looking Holman
was expected to be near 205
pounds for the bout and trainer
Angelo Dundee said his fighter
was in the best condition of his
career.
But the 20-yenr-old Rowan was
full of zip In his workouts and
burning with determination to cut
short Holman's hopes for a title
shot at champion Rocky Marclano.
Holman Is the fourth - ranked
heavyweight contender, but this
didn't fmpress Rowan, who could
win a spot among the contenders
himself with a knockout over the
older fighter.
The fiery Irishman is expected
to come Into the ring at around
185 pounds. His strategy, accord
ing to trainers, probably will Be
to outbox Holman "and look for
a knockout shot."

TOTALS
Opponents
Hutchinson, Tebbetts Clash
Verbally Over Punching Bag
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Wl A
punching bag that has never been
touched by a boxing glove may be
come the Innocent target of a
spring training oral sparring match
between manager Freddie Hutch
inson of the St. Louis Cardinals and
Birdie Tebbetts, his Cincinnati Red
legs' counterpart.
The bag, decorated with a carle
alure that faintly resembles what
can be passed off as an umpire's
frowning features, was originally
purchased as a gag by Dewey So
riano, Seattle general manager. He
hung the stuffed canvas In the
Coast League team's clubhouse last
year to tease Hutchinson, then Se
attle manager.
Soriano's idea was for Hutch,
who is a hard loser, to blow off
steam with a few punches at the
bag Instead of at Coast League
umpires. Hutchinson went along
with the gag.
AGREEMENT
After Hutchinson was appointed
manager of the Cardinals, Soriano
met Cardinal general manager
Frank Lane and promised to send
the bag to St. Louis. Gabe Paul,
however, heard about It and when
Cincinnati signed a work agree
ment with Seattle last fall the
Reds' general manager Insisted his
club had a priority on the bag be
cause of the working agreement
between the two clubs.
"Now if Lane and Hutchinson are
anxious to get the bag." Paul re

lated gleefully, "maybe they'll be
willing to make a player trade and
I'll throw It in for good measure."
Lane and Hutchinson, however,
did- not see anything funny about
Paul's "steal" of the punching bag.
"I only wanted It so I could dis
pose of it," Lane explained. "I
don't think that's a very funny
gag."
The usually mild - mannered
Hutchinson, was burned up over
the Incident.
SEVERAL FIGHTS
"Let them keep the darn thing."
Hutch rasped. "That Tebbets needs
it more than I do. He could use it
to practice up his punch. He's had
several fights as a player and man
ager in the big leagues and he
hasn't won one yet.
"Why, only last year, he tangled
with Harry Walker during a game
between St. Louis and Cincinnati
and he came off second best In that
fight. I remember when Birdie and
I were teammates in Detroit I
believe it was In 1939 and Teb
betts challenged Vern Kennedy,
a pitcher on the St. Louis Browns.
They went into the clubhouse. Vern

NEW YORK (UP) Ted Cott.
vice-president and general mana
ger of the Dumont Broadcasting
Corp., hoped to announce today
the new promoters of Monday
night TV fighls who will succeed
Tex Sullivan's kayoed London
Sporting Club.
oullivan. his club and his ex-
partner Willie Qilzeuberg had
their licenses revoked Tuesday by
the N Y. State Athletic Commis
sion, which found them guilty on
eight of nine charges. The revoca
tions will become effective next
Tuesday.
Cott said today, "We interviewed
representatives of 16 groups who
wanted to promote Monday night
fights. Our possible choices have
simmered down now to three
standouts and one passible com
bination. Of course the new organ
ization must be approved and li
censed by the commission."
He said he hoped the new pro
moters could continue to stage the
fights at St. Nicholas Arena, where
next Monday night Suilivan's out
fit will put on Uie last of Its 94
weekly shows, started may 17,
1954.
Meanwhile, Sullivan's attorneys
are preparing to file an appeal
to the Supreme Court of New York
County later this week. They will
also ask for an injunction to de
lay the revocation of licenses until
the court can review the case. Sul
livan was not optimistic about get
ting an Injunction or a court re
versal of the decision.
In the commission's 15-page de
cision, Sullivan and Gilzenberg
were exonerated on the charge of
conspiring with criminals when
they attempted to snut tneir ngnts
to Baltimore because of the com
mission's ban against the Boxing
Guild in New York. However, they
were found guilty of conspiring to
sabotage the effectiveness of the
ban. Also on seven other charges
of conduct detrimental to the best
Interests of boxing.

STATE COLLEGE. Miss. Ifl
Lng-tlme buddies. Darrell Royal
and Wade Walker faced a part
ing Wednesday, with Walker tak
ing over as head coach at Mis
sissippi State to fill the vacancy
left when Royal accepted the chal
lenge of the snme post at the Uni
versity of Washington.
Royal was named to the top
football Job at Washington Tues
day and Walker quickly got an
offer to succeed him here.
"I hope to go up there this week."
Royal said. "I've read about the
situation up there and I'll admit
the challenge the Job offers In
fluenced my decision to go."
He said he had no definite plans,
"but I hope we can get things to
running smoothly."
The 31-year-old former star
quarterback at the University of
Oklahoma said he did not know
the details of the Washington sit
uation, but knew that there had
been some disagreements at the
university.
Royal will succeed John Cher
berg, who was fired In January
bv athletic director Halvey Cas-
slll. The firing followed a revolt
of players on the football
team in November and because.
Casslll said, Cherberg had failed
to restore harmony as he had
promised. Casslll resigned earlier
this month.
Also mixed up in the squabble
was disclosure of a "downtown

knowledge of Improper use of the

for a legislative Inquiry.
"I plan to run from a split-T at
Washington," Royal said. "But I
don't know anything at all about
Uie team. I haven't even seen a
movie of any of their games."
George Briggs, Washington's new
athletic director, said at Wash
ington that Royal will be given
freedom in selecting his assistants.
"I'd like to take one on the staff
here with me." Royal said, de
clining to name the one. "I hope
to have a five-man staff there.
I'll probably handle the backs on
offense. I hope to have as as
sistants an end coach, a de
fensive backfield coach, an of
fensive line coach, a defensive
line coach and a freshman coach."
Royal said he did not apply for a
job and was "mighty flattered
when Uiey offered It to me." He
said he planned to go to the uni
versity soon, with his wife
and three children to follow later.
Briggs called Royal "one of the
finest coaching prospects in the
U.S. today."
Advised that Washington had
Negroes on Its football team, Roy
al said, "It doesn't make any dif
ference. All I'm Interested In is
